FlightScope Systems: Mevo, Mevo+, and X3 provide highly precise data for analyzing speed, energy efficiency, clubface position, and ball flight. Through Fusion Tracking Technology (Radar + Camera), they enable golfers and coaches to understand and optimize the complex relationships between club movement and ball behavior.
1. Speed & Efficiency
These values determine how effectively energy is transferred to the ball.
- Club Speed measures the speed of the clubhead and indicates potential distance — every additional mph adds roughly 2.5 yards of carry.
- Ball Speed shows how fast the ball travels immediately after impact and is critical for distance and strike quality.
- Smash Factor (Ball Speed ÷ Club Speed) evaluates impact efficiency — a ratio of 1.50 is ideal for a driver.
Maintaining a consistent tempo and rhythm improves repeatability and control.
2. Club Face & Swing Path
These parameters describe the club’s motion through impact.
- Face to Target (clubface alignment) determines the ball’s initial starting direction.
- Club Path (swing direction) influences the curvature of the shot.
- The interaction between these two defines Face to Path, the key value for producing draws or fades.
- Dynamic Loft indicates the effective loft at impact, controlling launch angle and spin.
- Angle of Attack affects trajectory and distance — slightly positive with a driver, slightly negative with irons.
- Spin Loft (difference between dynamic loft and attack angle) defines the amount of spin and overall ball flight height.
- Low Point identifies the lowest part of the swing arc — too early causes “fat” shots, too late causes “thin” ones.
3. Ball Flight Parameters
These values capture the trajectory, height, and landing behavior of the shot.
- Launch Angle and Launch Direction determine the ball’s takeoff angle and target line.
- Spin Rate (revolutions per minute) influences height, carry distance, and stopping power.
- Spin Axis shows the tilt of the spin — positive for a slice/fade, negative for a draw/hook.
- Apex Height and Flight Time provide the peak height and duration of the shot; higher values generally increase carry, while for wedges, they improve stopping control.
- Vertical Descent Angle describes the landing angle — steep means less roll, shallow means more roll.
Roll & Total Distance
Roll Distance measures how far the ball rolls after landing; Total Distance combines carry and roll.
These depend on landing angle, spin, and ground conditions.
Flatter land angles and lower spin rates (e.g., with woods) produce more roll, while steeper angles (e.g., with wedges) create faster stopping action.
Conclusion
FlightScope parameters deliver a complete biomechanical profile of each shot.
By systematically analyzing speed, clubface position, spin, and ball flight, golfers can precisely optimize energy transfer, strike quality, and accuracy.
In short — FlightScope transforms pure measurement into measurable performance improvement.
